Keil new development kits supporting STM32 and NXP LPC1700 microcontroller families

ARM's software branch Keil has made available a new MCBSTM32C evaluation board and starter kit for ST Microelectronics STM32 family of microcontrollers. Also Keil's MDK-ARM (Microcontroller Development Kit) and RL-ARM (Real-Time Library) now support STM32 line.

The latest release of MDK-ARM supports all STM32 devices and includes set-up files, device-specific views, and example projects. RL-ARM is the collection of middleware components to develop applications using libraries for TCP/IP networking, CAN, and USB. The Keil MCBSTM32C evaluation board features the STM32F107VC microcontroller, 10/100 Ethernet, 2 CAN, 2 serial ports, and a QVGA LCD with touch screen. The MCBSTM32C is also available as a starter kit with ULINK-ME USB-JTAG adapter.

Keil has also released the MCB1760 evaluation board and starter kit to support the NXP Semiconductor's LPC1700 Cortex-M3 processor-based microcontrollers.

The has NXP Semiconductor's LPC1768 microcontroller running at up to 100MHz, together with a color QVGA LCD, Ethernet, USB, CAN, SD/MMC card interface, and UARTs.

Other features of MCB1760 evaluation board are,

5-position Joystick and push-button
Analog Voltage Control for ADC Input
70 GPIO pins
JTAG, Serial Wire, and ETM Trace interfaces
Software and Examples

The Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK-ARM) features numerous ready-to-run example projects for the MCB1760 evaluation board, making practical use of the board's peripherals. Some of these examples are built around the Keil RTX Real-Time Kernel, also included as part of MDK-ARM.

The Real-Time Library, includes CAN, Flash file system and USB device examples ported to the MCB1760 board.
